LG Commences Global Rollout of G Flex2

LG has commenced the global rollout of its curved smartphone, the G Flex2.

Major carriers in the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, France, Germany and the U.K. will be among the first to offer the G Flex2 to customers while key markets in North and South America, Europe and Asia are expected to announce the start of sales in the weeks following Mobile World Congress.

The G Flex2 features a 5.5-inch Full HD Curved P-OLED (1080 x 1920 pixels / 403 ppi) screen, an Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, a Self Healing back cover which LG says now heals everyday scratches in just 10 seconds, and a fast charge feature which charges the 3000mAh battery to almost 50% in a little over half an hour.

“The G Flex2 shows the world that there’s still room for design innovation in today’s smartphones beyond just metal frames and larger displays,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We think the G Flex2 is the perfect example of form and function coming together beautifully. It’s a smartphone that people simply won’t be able to take their eyes off of.”
